Do y'all sometimes wish, you know,
0:05
when company drops in
0:07
and you offer 'em a cup of coffee maybe
0:09
or something to drink and you think
0:12
gosh I wish I had something quick
0:13
I could run in the kitchen and stir together for 'em.
0:18
Well this is one of those recipes y'all.
0:20
You only have to be a little bit prepared for it.
0:26
buying some tart shells,
0:30
you know whatever tart shell you like
0:37
because these are called strawberry tiramisu bites.
0:42
And so that's considered a bite
0:46
and they're good, they're not overly sweet,
0:50
and I keep them in the freezer.
0:53
So at a moment's notice I can stir something together.
0:57
So I've got my strawberry preserves,
1:01
and I'm goin' put just a dollop,
1:04
a little tiny dollop of the preserves
1:07
in the bottom of our tart shells.
1:14
You wanna come finish this Theresa so I can-
1:17
- [Theresa] Yeah. - [Chef] Go on to the other-
1:18
Would you mind doing that for me?
1:19
- [Theresa] Certainly.
1:20
- I'm gonna come around this side and I'll do it on top.
1:22
- [Chef] Okay, there you go.
1:25
- [Theresa] You can have this. - [Chef] Thank you.
1:27
- [Theresa] And I'll take that.
1:27
- [Chef] It's easy, it just takes a minute.
1:29
- [Theresa] No problem.
1:31
- And plus I get a lick of strawberry jelly. (laughs)
1:35
Actually it's strawberry preserves.
1:39
All right so over here I've got some lemonade,
1:47
So these are gonna be
1:52
And then I've got mascarpone cheese which I do love.
2:01
- [Chef] Okay so we just gonna mix those together.
2:09
Tiramisu is one of Michael Groover's favorite desserts.
2:16
No, (laughs) I don't know why I don't make it.
2:21
I like my grandmother Hires' carrot cake better.
2:26
Or grandma Paul's sour cream pound cake.
2:30
- [Theresa] Grandgirl's fresh apple.
2:32
- [Chef] Oh Grandgirl's fresh apple cake.
2:35
- [Theresa] Apple secrets.
2:40
I had more fun when I was filming Paula's best dishes
2:46
up north we went to an apple orchard
2:50
and oh my goodness we were, it was somewhere near...
2:58
it was somewhere near Gordon's house.
3:01
- [Theresa] Mm hm I can't remember where.
3:03
- You just ride into this orchard
3:06
and red apples as far as you can see
3:08
it is one of the most beautiful sites.
3:12
I'm gonna quit talking and I'm gonna beat this together.
3:16
Well, is this been turned off?
3:18
- [Theresa] Probably yeah, I'm sure-
3:20
- [Chef] The grandkids were over yesterday
3:24
and they'll come in and hit every button
3:30
So we just gonna beat this together till it's creamy.
3:35
You wanna start out low because
3:40
that lemon juice and that lemonade will fly everywhere
3:53
What was that Paula? (laughs)
4:02
Okay that appears to be
4:07
nice and creamy and incorporated.
4:11
- [Theresa] Now this is gonna make a lot more than...
4:14
- [Chef] Oh my gosh yes.
4:15
- [Theresa] But since it's only the three of us.
4:18
- [Theresa] And we would sit here and eat all of them.
4:20
- [Chef] Every one of 'em.
4:23
All right, so we're gonna come over here.
4:25
I'm gonna wash these off and dry 'em though
4:29
because we're fixing a whip, heavy cream with them.
4:39
anything to possibly mess up
4:41
our whipping cream, getting stiff.
4:51
And I'm sure you know that all these little hand mixers
4:55
there's a right hole and a wrong hole
5:03
if you trying' to put it in the wrong hole.
5:07
Let's see I'm gonna have to open this
5:11
so, I've got three quarters of a cup of heavy cream.
5:22
And I'm gonna just beat this.
5:30
Until it forms soft peaks.
5:57
I'm gon' slowly add the powdered sugar
6:02
because it's starting to get stiff.
6:26
And I'm gonna add one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
6:35
I didn't quite reach the- oops that's too much.
6:41
There, that that should be a full teaspoon.
6:47
That helps. - [Theresa] Clean as we go.
6:48
- [Chef] I'm telling you that helps so much.
6:56
That's nice and stiff.
6:58
- [Theresa] That's so good.
7:00
- And I'm gonna beat this doesn't it smell good?
7:03
I'm gonna beat this one more time to just make sure it's
7:16
- [Mikey] Cleaning up some garages.
7:23
- [Mikey] He went to lunch with Miss Michelle.
7:24
- [Chef] Oh, that's right
7:25
he told me he was probably gonna go
7:27
to the Creek house the Paula Deen creek house.
7:32
We have really good salads there
7:36
and Michael's trying to cut back.
7:41
So he and Michelle, his daughter,
7:46
are going to lunch there.
7:47
I had forgotten about that.
7:49
Now so we're just gonna fold in our whipping cream
8:03
And when you fold, you go down and back up
8:09
until everything's incorporated nicely.
8:19
- [Theresa] Eddie I wanna be that dog snoring on the floor.
8:22
- I know it she snores y'all, Lulu snorers.
8:26
And sometimes she snores so loud she wakes me up at night.
8:33
Can you hear her snoring?
8:35
I'm thinking I would love to be taking a nap that hard-
8:37
oh, I just woke her up.
8:40
- [Chef] Oh only for a second.
8:47
You wanna, will your cord reach Eddie?
8:58
- [Theresa] Now she is.
9:01
She can fall asleep so quick.
9:05
All right I'm gonna need a spoon,
9:12
I love my (chuckles) someone gave me this teaspoon.
9:17
No coffee, no talkie.
9:21
And I know that feeling.
9:25
So we're gonna bring these over here
9:30
and we're gon' put a little dollop
10:01
(bowl scrapes surface)
10:02
We're gonna finish 'em off.
10:06
That one's a little thick.
10:09
They're all a little thick.
10:16
These are almost bigger than the tarts.
10:40
If you're doing this for maybe the fourth of July
10:45
you could add a blueberry
10:47
have the strawberries and blueberries.
11:02
Strawberry tiramisu bites.
11:08
- Aren't they pretty?
11:13
Happy whatever we're are celebrating. (laughs)
